integral of (x^2-2)/(x^2+1)

\int \frac{x ^{2} - 2}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

x - 3 arctan (x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{2} - 2}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

Expand

\frac{x ^{2} - 2}{x ^{2} + 1} : \frac{x ^{2}}{x ^{2} + 1} - \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 1}

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int \frac{x ^{2}}{x ^{2} + 1} d x - \int \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{x ^{2} + 1} d x = - arctan (x) + x

\int \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 1} d x = 2 arctan (x)

= - arctan (x) + x - 2 arctan (x)

Simplify

= x - 3 arctan (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= x - 3 arctan (x) + C

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{( 4 - 9 x ^{2} )} d x

\int \frac{sin ( x ) + x cos ( x )}{x sin ( x )} d x

\int x^{3} 16 - 4 x^{2} d x

\int 5 x - 8 d x

\int \frac{1}{( 4 + 25 x ^{2} )} d x
